Leaving Orkney and sailing next to the Old Man of Hoy.

It was time to say bye to Orkney and to island life, for now, it was a hard goodbye but the views from sailing away from Stromness made it easier. I always wondered how it must feel to live on that little island in the bay of Stromness.

The Pelican of London was also ready to sail on.

There is also a view of the coastal walk from the day before.

The first glimpse of the Old Man of Hoy, as I wasn´t able to hike there, I was happy to see it at least from the ferry!

Around that corner to the left would be Rackwick beach.

A few hours later we arrived back on Mainland Scotland and I drove to Stoer to start my week in Assynt, another place with amazing views.
